Born February 3, 1962 in Taiwan, she was the only daughter of the late Chim & Lin (Yeh). Kiki graduated from High School in Taiwan and later earned her Bachelor's degree there she later earned her MBA from Franklin University.

Kiki recently became a member of the Bible Baptist Church in Marysville, after attending for the past year when her health would allow her to. She was involved with church as much as she could be. Kiki was also a voracious reader and an avid fisherman. She and Andre, and her friends enjoyed traveling to Amish Country, including Sugarcreek and Berlin, where they savored all of the food made there. Kiki also loved animals but specifically German Shepards. Over the past few years Kiki was able to cultivate and grow her friendship circle she spent countless hours chatting reading the Bible and going to get something to eat. She became a connoisseur of ice cream which she enjoyed very much.
Pastor Jeramy Stout will officiate a Celebration of Katherine's life at 12:00 Noon, Saturday, June 28, 2025 at the Bible Baptist Church, 16435 Square Drive, Marysville, Ohio 43040.

I remember Kiki very well, one story in particular comes to mind. In 2004 we were running to stay fit, we did several group runs at Darby Metro Park & found our pace was the same. In spring of 2005 we were looking for a 5k event to run and instead found a half marathon we were both super excited to run in our first event. We were both rookie runners & it showed as we tossed our pace out the window and looked like horses running for the barn. That was what the first half of the race looked like anyway, we verily made it back to our cars that day. Kiki loved her family & dogs. She was such a good friend, coworker and cheerleader over the years.
